"The US because of its destructive foreign policy has created many enemies not only in the middle east but of the rest of the world. and we wont remove the fact that this could be an act from an enemy within the US soil.

--hureea, 9/11/01

And sometimes they get it exactly right:

"We need to stop pretending that we don’t know who the enemy is. It has a name; it has a face. It’s called Radical Islam. NOT Islam as practiced peacefully by millions of the faithful around the world. We’re talking about Radical Islam, a specific fringe political movement dedicated to imposing its fanatical ideology on its own societies and destroying the society of its enemies, the greatest of which is the United States. And the enemy has many branches; Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Israel, the Osama bin laden organization, headquartered in Afghanistan. For 30 years these organizations have openly declared that they are in a war to the death with the United States. What does it take for us to believe them? Is what happened yesterday in New York and Washington enough, or do we need some more examples to prove to our government that the declarations of the radical Muslims are NOT just idle threats. It is WAR!"

But more often, they get it wrong.

"Kalid Shahzad is a registered Democrat." --Rusn Limbaugh 5/5/10

FM offers $100. to anyone who comes up with a legitimate source for that remark, such as voter registration records, his registration card, etc.

Our money is safe. Limbaugh's remark is a lie and therefore he's WRONG AGAIN.

But expect to hear it as fact from your local bigot, birther, racist, teabagger or Conservative.

Listening to Sean Hannity on radio a woman commentator whose name I didn't catch, made the following remark during a discussion of whether or not terrorist suspects and/or non US citizens should be given Miranda warnings:

"why should we? we didn't give Miranda rights to German and Japanese Americans arrested during WWII."

Because Miranda didn't become law until 1966, lady, that's why.

Conservative intelligence = oxymoron.
